Why didn't I buy these earlier?

Posted01 February 2015

Yes, I recommend this product.

Pros: Good quality, Comfortable, Looks great

Due to the price of these boots I had always convinced myself overshoes were better value for money even if I need a new pair each year. After looking at reviews and asking people who currently have them I bit the bullet and I am so glad I did. The all in one nature of the boot means riding in cold and wet conditions is no longer noticed by my feet and I don't need to start wiggling my toes have way round a ride as they are getting cold. I am wearing them with a thickish pair of merino socks and they seem to make a the perfect partnership.The pull and lock closure system and Velcro fastening mean your feet are sealed within the boot comfortably. Would I recommend, definitely.. Would I buy another pair if needed, definitely..

Better than overshoes

Posted29 January 2015

Yes, I recommend this product.

Pros: Good quality, Comfortable

Cons: Heavy, Expensive

Pretty pleased overall, they are very watertight (as I found out by filling them on a 2 hour ride in torrential rain) but as with many shoes/overshoes they do let water in from the ankle if you have skinny calf/ankles like me.I've now invested in waterproof tights which cover the neck of the shoes and I've been very please with the result.Slightly disappointed with the breathability as you still end up with damp feet if working hard.

Why did I wait so long to get a winter shoe?

Posted19 January 2015

Yes, I recommend this product.

For anyone riding year round, a winter shoe is a must have and is much better than using any form of shoe covers. I don't have too much experience with winter cycling shoes - but so far these look great, hold heat well and water resistance is good. They are rated for below 0C use and should be good for that based on feel at slightly higher temps. It is a mild winter so far and I haven't tested them below zero celsius -+3hr rides are fine in temps ~0-10C.The shoes toe box is quite large for the size. They fit a bit looser than other brands (eg Specialized and Mavic).Best used with waterproof pants that can cover the upper section otherwise some water can seep in along the material. An overlaid pant leg allows water to hit the goretex portion.

Great winter boot but 'one size bigger' incorrect

Posted11 March 2014

Yes, I recommend this product.

Pros: Good quality, Comfortable

Cons: sizing recommendation

A great winter boot for UK conditions. Waterproof until it comes over the top but this will happen with any boot. Only major problem I found is that the 'one size up' recommendation suggested by Evans didn't work for me. I take a 44 in Shimano shoes so after reading reviews on these boots ordered a 45. Turns out that these are too big and my foot moves around even with thick Sealskins on. An expensive mistake to make.

fits well

Posted17 December 2013

Yes, I recommend this product.

Pros: Good value, Good quality, Comfortable, Lightweight, Looks great

Cons: Expensive

i wear a size 45 in sidi (slightly big) and i got these in 45 and they are the correct size i can fit my feet in with thick socks will probably need to get arch support insoles

After years of cold feet in winter and spring and reading the reviews on this shoe I decided to invest in a good winter shoe. They came just in time for a holiday in Wales. The temperature was below 10 degrees all week but only using one pair of trainer socks in these shoes my feet were warm all day long, I was able to ride all day for most of the week .It didn't rain so not used in wet yet ( no rain in Wales - unusual ). I would recommend them without hesitation , I would also suggest you buy one size bigger than normal.

Pros: Good value, Good quality, Comfortable

During the Danish winter we experience snow and temperatures -15-0 degrees celsius and NorthWave Arctic have kept my feet nice and warm. Even in wet conditions I still Don't freeze my feet.These boots have changed my winter-season from being very short and unpleasant to just as nice as the summer!

Not waterproof for me

Posted29 December 2012

No, I do not recommend this product.

Bought these because I read they were waterproof. First outing in very heavy rain for a few hrs got back home and both feet very wet.

Also bought the Artic version because of warmth, did not find them very warm.

Will stick to Sealskinz and overshoes from now on.

Warm and comfy

Posted15 December 2012

Yes, I recommend this product.

Pros: Good quality, Comfortable

Cons: Expensive

I use these boots on my road bike, as I prefer the SPD style of cleat. They are much warmer than normal shoes with overshoes. I've used them sub zero C and they were fine for a 3 hour ride. The key is not to over tighten them when it is really cold. They got slightly too warm on a 2 hour ride at 10C, nothing to worry about, but normal shoes with overshoes would have been more comfortable.

The sole is very rigid, which helps with pedalling, but makes walking harder than my other cycling shoes (but still way easier than with proper road shoes). The elastic lacing is easy to adjust and hidden behind the velcro top once adjusted. Not used in the wet, so can't comment on the Goretex, but the top will always be a weak point for water getting in.

I bought a 46, when my normal shoe size is 45 - that was fine.. The width is just okay for my wide foot, but certainly not as wide as my wide fit Shimano shoe, which are really comfortable..

Posted04 October 2012

Yes, I recommend this product.

Pros: Good quality, Comfortable, Looks great

Stop thinking about it and buy 'em! I'm a right complainer when it comes to cold so after a bit of research I decided these were the ones for me. Not disappointed so far. They fit well over a good pair of warm bike socks. They feel warm. Went out in the rain and still had dry feet.They're not the lightest or the cheapest but feel better than any winter boot I've had before.I've got reasonably wide feet that aren't that long so a half size bigger than normal were the right fit for me but if you want to wear 2 pairs of socks maybe go a full size over normal.

Good Boot!

Posted13 February 2012

Yes, I recommend this product.

Pros: Good quality, Comfortable, Lightweight

Been using the Celsius Arctic GTX shoe for a month now in temperatures ranging from -5 to -20 (midwinter Helsinki, Finland). They perform great for my realtively short commute.

Admittedly we had a week with temperatures from -15 to -20 and as one would expect it got a bit nippy in the toes. If you intend to wear them in under -10 for longer than on hour a time just get them big enough (+1 or even +2 sizes) to comfortably fit an extra pair of wolly socks.

Sizewise they seem a bit on the small side (normally wear 42, have these in a good fit at 43). As my world is still frozen solid I really cant say much about the waterproofness but they breathe ok and keep my feet dry. After just a months use they seem durable - but that remains to be seen.

Respect on the stiffness, these made me realize I have to upgrade my basic shimano-shoes come summer.

As to the name, I'd say these shoes are in no way "Arctic" but nevertheless a good and versatile buy - the seem to be a good compromise on lightness, stiffness and warmth. Anyways these added loads of warmth and comfort to my commute - no complaints!

Great boots

Posted16 February 2011

Yes, I recommend this product.

Pros: Good value, Good quality, Comfortable

Here in oz it never gets too cold, but i just tried these in summer and they are great - even in 25 degrees my feet feel fine, breathability is good. I was cught in a torrential storm (40mm in 40minutes) and eventually my feet did get wet, but thats not surprising when i had litres of water running down my leg. as with any boot if your socks get wet it will wick in, however, even when soaking my foot was still warm. For me fitting was goood, i was worried as i take a 6/39 so ordered 40 but that was perfect for me. I think a 39 may have been ok, but at least a 0 lets me wear thicker socks in winter. Laces are a pain (have to cut them down and then where do you put them when tight?), however thats the only negative. Overall in anything but the heaviest rain they work well and wear your leggings on top will help keep most water out of them

Made for wide tyres-n-narrow feet

Posted30 December 2010

Yes, I recommend this product.

Pros: Good quality, Lightweight, Looks great, good stiff soles

Cons: Uncomfortable, hard plasticy soles.

WELL MADE BOOT, but I ride narrow tyres and have wide feet "G"and wanted a warm cleated boot to wear when cycle training which involves a lot of standing around. The sole also did not look fit for this purpose, so item returned.Good boot for the intened purpose

This shoe is really comfortable and warm. I tested it in snowy conditions by -7C! In january I shall participate in a beachclassic-race (Egmond-Pier-Egmond in Holland)) and then I hope to expirience that they are waterproof as well! I think it's a great wintershoe and although they are expensive it looks as they are worth every penny!

Great Shoes

Posted22 December 2010

Yes, I recommend this product.

Pros: Comfortable, Lightweight, warm and dry

I live in northwestern Maryland USA where temperatures routinely drop into the single digits fahrenheit and there is usually snow on the ground. Have worn the shoes for about a month now and they are great. My feet stay warm and dry, the sole grips well on the rocks. The sole pattern seems to shed mud and ice so my cleats do not jam up as often either. Highly recommend the shoes.

Northwave Celsius Artic GTX Shoe

Posted08 December 2010

Yes, I recommend this product.

Pros: Good value, Good quality, Comfortable, Looks great

Having used this boot in temperatures of around 0°C on wet roads I find it is considerably warmer than summer shoes used with neoprene overshoes. This is certainly due to the fact that the sole is insulated and there are no openings there. However, I can't see how the things to which the cleats are fixed could be replaced if necessary. The boot is comfortable and easy to put on.

Northwave Celsius Artic GTX Shoe

Posted05 November 2010

Yes, I recommend this product.

Pros: Good quality, Comfortable, Looks great

Cons: Expensive

I've cycled for a few years now predominantly MTB Off-Road and every winter I brave the conditions with summer shoes & Gore-Tex overshoes which has helped but not totally kept my feet 100% dry & warm.

I've recently purchased the Nothwave winter boot and cycling in any adverse weather condition is a vast improvement, I'm now able to concentrate on cycling rather than how I'm unable to feel my feet through the cold & wet. These boots are a must if you're planning on cycling through the rain & snow; I'm looking forward to my rides out over the winter season now.
